<p>Handling a &#8216;spill situation&#8217; at your workshop, site or facility can be a rather time consuming process. This is especially true if you have an electrically powered vac that&#8217;s prone to freezing up or clogging. But STREAMTEK&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/drumstorms/reversible-drum-storm-information.php" target="_blank">drum pump</a> the Drum Storm is a maintenance free system because it has no moving parts. It can be used to suck up liquid spills, waste water, tramp oil, coolant, sludge, chips, hydraulic oil, and other liquids all powered by just compressed air. Essentially, this device also frees you of worries relating to high power bills.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/drumstorms/buy-reversible-drum-storm.php" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/drumstorms/images/drumstorm.gif" height="300" width="450"></a></p>
<p align="justify">For several years now, STREAMTEK has been creating products that use innovative compressed air technologies to improve productivity. The drum pump is an extension of this very innovative streak. Our other products such as the very popular <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/airknives.php" target="_blank">air knives</a> can be used for and spot cooling, conveying, and blow-off.</p>
<p align="justify">Our reversible Drum Storm can be attached to any closed head drum instantaneously. As you turn the knob on the Drum Storm counterclockwise, a high powered vacuum fills the drum in 2 minutes or less. To transfer contaminated liquids to the tank, just turn the knob clockwise and the stainless steel pump will empty the drum in just 2 minutes with a similar two-way action. We&#8217;ve ensured that you can control the flow rate with the help of a regulator, shutoff valve, or with the knob itself.</p>
<p>The drum pump is exactly what you need in a scenario where enterprises are increasingly looking at cutting costs by making wise investments. To learn more about this device and our very useful <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/air-curtain.php" target="_blank">air curtain</a> range please get in touch with us at <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com" target="_blank">www.stream-tek.com</a> and a representative will be in touch with you shortly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Thermal management in control panels, electronic controls and other such places needs to be effective, affordable and low on maintenance. The STREAMTEK <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/cabinetcoolers/cabinetcoolers-information.php" target="_blank">cabinet cooler</a> offers these very advantages and more. This unit demonstrates great results in cooling electronic and electrical enclosures with filtered air that&#8217;s up to 45 degrees F cooler.</p>
<p align="justify">Our most popular product in this category is a cooler that produces 550 to 2,800 BTU/Hr. from a single unit. Besides, we also offer products that cater to enhanced cooling requirements.</p>
<p align="justify">This product was essentially developed as a smarter and better alternative to a <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/vortextubes/vortex-tube.php" target="_blank">vortex tube</a>. The main attribute that sets our cabinet coolers apart from the vortex tubes is that these coolers have been tweaked so as to achieve maximum refrigeration that cannot be adjusted. This is an advantage over the vortex tubes that can be adjusted, increasing the risk of poor operation. </p>
<p align="justify">STREAMTEK customers have been using our cabinet cooler range for years, and have consistently reported satisfactory performance. Some of the most common applications include cooling of electronic controls, machining operations, soldered parts, gas samples, electronic components, and also for setting hot metals etc.</p>
<p align="justify">Among the distinctive highlights of this product is that our engineering team has added a built-in relief valve that exhausts hot air from the cabinet as the cooler simultaneously supplies clean and cool air.</p>
<p align="justify">Each of our products is designed with the intention of increasing your productive and operational excellence. And our product offerings such as the cabinet cooler, vortex tubes and <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airamplifiers/air-amplifiers.php" target="_blank">air amplifier</a> range are an extension of the same endeavor. To know which cabinet panel cooler is a perfect fit for your needs, please visit <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com" target="_blank">www.stream-tek.com</a> and drop us an email or call our factory describing your needs. A STREAMTEK application engineer will respond with a recommendation for you within 12 hours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working with liquid spills is a tricky task that is not just time consuming, but also energy consuming. But this isn&#8217;t the case if you choose STREAMTEK&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/drumstorms/reversible-drum-storm-information.php">drum pump</a>. Our drum pump the Drum Storm is a maintenance free system that can effectively suck up liquid spills, waste water, tramp oil, coolant, sludge, chips, hydraulic oil and other liquids. All this is powered by nothing but compressed air.</p>
<p>This system can be simply attached to any closed head drum. By turning the drum pump&#8217;s knob counter clockwise, a high powered vacuum rapidly fills the drum. When you want to transfer the contaminated liquids to another tank, just turn the knob clockwise and the stainless steel pump will empty the drum in just 2 minutes. </p>
<p>This unit also protects your investment because it&#8217;s made of 303-stainless steel and has no moving parts (except for the knob). All you need to do is clean the unit whenever needed with a solvent cleaner or mild degreaser.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where our drum pump can be put to use:</p>
<ul>
<li>Coolant sumps</li>
<li>Lathes</li>
<li>Pits</li>
<li>Screw machines and machining centers</li>
<li>Food processing</li>
<li>Floor cleanup and tanks</li>
<li>Basement Flood/Restoration</li>
</ul>
<p>STREAMTEK&#8217;s drum pump is compact and portable making it easy to use at different locations across your facility. It is completely safe because it doesn&#8217;t use electricity and we&#8217;ve taken enough care to add a built-in pressure and vacuum relief.For more information relating to our other products such as <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/air-curtain.php">static eliminator</a> and air curtain, please visit us at <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/">www.stream-tek.com</a> and we&#8217;d love to offer you custom solutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For over 15 years, Streamtek has enjoyed a reputation that most competitors would envy. And there are no trade secrets at work here we have achieved this through our sheer dedication to manufacturing high quality compressed air-operated products. </p>
<p>We manufacture all our products and make sure that each of them passes our stringent quality standards. Streamteks popular <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/air-curtain.php" target="_blank"><b>air curtain</b></a> range helped us serve the needs of major industrial players across the globe. Along with the best quality offerings, we pride ourselves in being able to offer low costs to customers by eliminating the middle man. This helps us pass the benefits of savings onto our customers. </p>
<p>Our air knives (air curtains) have demonstrated excellent efficiency and optimum energy savings. Our air curtain range is widely used to deliver compressed air for large drying, cleaning as well as cooling applications.</p>
<p><b>How does Streamteks air knife operate?</b></p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img align="left" alt="Advace air knife" src="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/images/air-knife-super-3.jpg" height="150" width="200" title="Advace air knife">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/super-air-knife-information.php"><b>Advanced Air Curtain</b></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>The air curtain essentially operates by entraining the surrounding air along with the compressed air. This helps utilizing the coanda effect, which converts energy which would normally be lost as noise and pressure drop into a uniform sheet of air. This air sheet is projected along the entire length of the air knife (in a vertical or horizontal manner) to provide an air flow that covers the entire surface of the product.</p>
<p>In addition, Streamtek has demonstrated engineering excellence with our other products such as the <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/drumstorms/reversible-drum-storm-information.php" target="_blank"><b>drum pump</b></a>, which helps suck up waste liquids, spillages as well as sludge with the help of compressed air. </p>
<p>With the burgeoning demand for <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/static-eliminators/" target="_blank"><b>static eliminator</b></a> ranges, we have risen to the occasion to create state-of-the-art products that help neutralize static electricity and safeguard products from dust (and other materials) sticking to them. Should you need any more information regarding the air curtain range or any other products, please visit us at www.stream-tek.com to experience exceptional product quality, warm customer service and secure online business transactions. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A company that manufactures plasterboard had an issue on their production line during the manufacturing of plasterboard. They were not able to achieve both the correct dimension and appearance of their final plasterboard.</p>
<p>The layer of plaster needed to have even thickness before the top layer was applied. Phil <em>(now our customer)</em> ended up installing one of our <strong>36&#8243; Regular Air Knives</strong> on top of the conveyor. By doing this the plaster solution was spread out, therefore creating an even thickness of plaster. The excess plaster solution could then be recycled and used again.</p>
<p>Thanks to our <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/standard-air-knife-information.php">Regular Aluminum Air Knife</a> Phil was able to reduce material (usage of plaster) which in turn saved his company money, but at same time improving overall product quality and appearance.</p>
<p>To find out how STREAMTEK Air Knives can help save money and improve productivity, please call us at toll free +1-888-218-6548 (Outside of USA/Canada +1-705-770-4455) or use the following <a href="mailto:sales@stream-tek.com">email address</a> for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent customer (George) owns a small beer company and recently contacted us for a solution to a common problem he was facing.</p>
<p>After his kegs were filled with beer, the condensation on kegs surface needed to be dried before the labeling process could commence. Prior to George ordering our <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/standard-air-knife-information.php">Stainless Steel Regular Air Knives</a> his company did not have any process in place which dried their kegs in an efficient manner. Instead they had a long conveyor in which they waited for the condensation to dry as the kegs full of beer were being transported to the final labeling station. This proved to be extremely time consuming and in most cases resulted in a very spotty keg surface.</p>
<p>George decided to order (2) Stainless Steel Regular Air Knives which he installed on each side of the transport conveyor. The two Air Knives were each able to blast a completely uniform sheet of airflow onto each side of the kegs surface. This resulted in not only improved drying and labeling, but George was able to shorten the length of the transport conveyor and free up a considerable amount of space within the factory.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Air Knives</strong> are often used to dry jars which are commonly used for packaging pickles, olives, etc. After the jars are washed and filled, the outside will become too wet for labels to properly adhere. In addition, moisture can also be trapped under the metal cap which may cause rusting.</p>
<p>One of our customers who packages Olives and was experiencing this very problem. I suggested that he install a couple of our <strong>Advanced Stainless Steel Air Knives</strong>. The customer (Phil) ended up installing two STREAMTEK Air Knives (one on each side of the conveyor). </p>
<p>Previous to installing our compressed air-operated Air Knives, Phil was using a painfully slow method to dry his jars&#8230;.ELECTRIC FANS!! The amount of $$$ Phil is going to save will be tremendous. Why? The STREAMTEK Air Knife does not use electricity, will NEVER fail and has no moving parts. The same can&#8217;t be said for his old fans&#8230;</p>
<p>Thanks to the STREAMTEK Air knife Phil was able to improve drying, enhance appearance, remove jars that was rejected, lower operating costs and overall increase customer satisfaction and all with our low cost solution STREAMTEK &#8220;<a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airknives/super-air-knife-information.php">Advanced Air Knife</a>&#8220;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our recent customer Neil from company who manufactures light gauge aluminum wanted to see the possibility of using a <strong>high-speed centrifugal blower</strong> to replace competitive compressed air nozzles at his casting mills.</p>
<p>The problem he had is that the metal chips being created were being blown onto the floor causing a serious safety hazard. This was not his only problem though! A significant amount of these chips were also falling back onto the aluminum sheets causing rejects by their customers.</p>
<p>After briefly talking with Neil about his problem, I educated him on the possible use of our Air Amplifiers versus centrifugal blower. Using a small amount of compressed air as their power source, the <strong>Air Amplifier</strong> will pull in massive volumes of air from the surrounding environment to produce high velocity and high volume outlet flows at amplification ratios up to 30:1.</p>
<p>Neil ended up installing two (2) <a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/products/airamplifiers/buy-adjustable-air-amplifier.php">4&#8243; Adjustable Air Amplifiers</a>. The STREAMTEK Air Amplifier system saved him ~35% of compressed air costs and improved the overall quality of his aluminum products.</p>
<p>Got a similar problem within your plant?<a href="http://www.stream-tek.com/contactus/contactus.php"> Contact Us</a> and see how our compressed air-operated products can save you time &#038; money.</p>
